Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The Candy Girls are running the London Marathon! When we are out training, we spend a lot of time wondering why we are running the marathon, why each of us is putting our bodies through the pain of regular training and why it is so dark in Winter...your mind does wonder about funny things whilst your running along! Neither of us is a seasoned runner but the reason for our motivation is clear to us - and hopefully to you too. We want to set ourselves a challenge, but most of all, we want to help raise money for The Anthony Nolan Trust. With your help, we can do just that.

The Anthony Nolan Trust takes back lives from leukaemia and aplastic anaemia by providing life saving bone marrow donors to thousands of men, women and children who would otherwise not survive. It also conducts pioneering research into the treatment of bone marrow disorders and improving the effectiveness of bone marrow transplants. By running and raising vital funds for The Anthony Nolan Trust, we are literally helping to take back even more lives from leukaemia and aplastic anaemia. So, please help us to achieve our target, and most of all, help those people affected by bone marrow disorders.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. Thank you so much - this really will help us complete The London Marathon!

And no, we won't be eating candy on the way round - though jelly babies will be gratefully received!
